For Milan Design Week, Issey Miyake is presenting “Thinking Design, Making Design: Work by A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE and Tatsuo Miyajima,” showcasing A-POC ABLE Issey Miyake’s collaborative “TYPE-II Tatsuo Miyajima” project for the first time overseas, from June 7 through June 21. This project extends the brand’s mission to create pieces that reflect their wearer’s life by investigating this process of creation in terms of clothing as a product, from drawing-board design to final manufacture. Through its presentation of Tatsuo Miyajima’s seven-segment digital number displays and his A-POC project, whereby Issey Miyake collaborated with Miyajima to produce designs inspired by his own work, this exhibition both extends the limits of art both into collective clothing design and extends the limits of design to reflect the everyday lifestyles of its creators and wearers.
